I will study over and over until I've made one. When I've mastered the skill......it will be my turn to teach my granddaughter.
Thank you, Madame Z.

enjoy.
those are the best memories, and the best traditions to hand down (take it from one who knows). the instructions are a bit involved, yes, but you'll see when you start making them it's not really so hard. after all, i learned when i was a little child, and over 30 years later i still remember (i do practice, from time to time, but not every day
).

Partly dating myself, I remember making them (as a child!) out of punched tape.
I'm now going to be up all night trying to remember how to fold them..... Now where did I put that Talisker bottle.

yep, i know the accordeon bit, that's near the beginning. now i'm also trying to figure out how to make a chain of connected stars.
curse you, lazy scot ! if i'm up all night doing tests, i'll blame you ! and of course, you have to tell us, when you figure it out. (try it with paper strips. there's probably no point in trying to remember it without any props.)
